Key Fact
Description
This is a Pokemon trading card featuring Charmeleon, a Stage 1 evolution. The card displays 70 HP and features two attacks: Flare, which deals 30 damage, and Damage Burn, which deals 40 damage and an additional 20 if the defending Pokemon has damage counters. The card is from the 2004 Ex Team Rocket Returns expansion set, illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita.
History
Wizards of the Coast produced Pokemon cards from 1999 until 2003, when The Pokemon Company International took over. The Ex Team Rocket Returns set was released in 2004, continuing the popular 'Ex' series which introduced powerful, high-HP Pokemon with special abilities. This era marked a significant point in the trading card game's global popularity.
Facts
Charmeleon is the evolved form of Charmander and the pre-evolved form of Charizard, one of the most iconic Pokemon characters. The artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita is highly sought after by collectors. The 'Ex' series cards often had unique holographic patterns and were generally more powerful than their predecessors.
Value Fact
The value of this Charmeleon card from the Ex Team Rocket Returns set can vary significantly based on its condition and grade. While common, ungradedsingle cards might fetch a few dollars, a graded near-mint or mint condition card could be worth considerably more, especially in the competitive Pokemon TCG market.
